Hello, my name is Mary. I am a Catholic, homeschooling mom, who is also the artist behind the designs you see in this site. ‘Behold the Handmade’ is a family owned- small business and was officially launched on March 25th, 2024 on the feast of Annunciation. The inspiration for our store's name stems from Mary’s profound affirmation, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your will." This phrase resonates deeply with me, as this store is my heartfelt response to a call that I had long felt within me to multiply the God-given talents. It may not be much, but instead of burying it, I choose to offer it joyfully and I pour every ounce of it into creating something beautiful that I hope enriches your life just as much as it enriches mine.
